I got to spend lots of time this weekend with Chatelaine's Heritage Sampler and added 1573 stitches.
I've met my April goal for Sea witch with 1098 tent/549 full x stitches and 37.16% complete.
Yesterday, I was home alone and took advantage of it.
I met my March stitch goal for Sea Witch, finished a page and added a couple hundred extra stitches
Page 14, 36.71% complete
I met a couple of goals this weekend.
I added 524 stitches to Heritage Sampler and added the second half the band I was struggling with.
I'm a little behind on some of my goals, but I'm making progress.
I've met my January goal for Sea Witch with 1096 tent/548 full x stitches. It is now 35.98% complete.
I've spent the last day or so working on Feathers in the Wind from Tilton Crafts. This is one of my annual goals so it doesn't appear to be a lot of stitching but I added 1162 tent/581 full x stitches and it is now 18.11% complete
Saturday morning, I met my March goal for The Loneliness of Autumn. We were approximately here
Page 15 of The Loneliness of Autumn is complete and this WIP is now 54.91% complete
I pulled Hawaii out for a break from the full coverage stitching and added 580 stitches to meet my 2025 goal.
If I manage to come back to this WIP this year, I would like to finish the right side where I've been working.
Loneliness of Autumn is out again. I've been debating on whether I could just stitch on it fairly monogamously without chasing my stitchy bug off. Maybe I'll just stitch on it a couple more days after I meet my goal?
Saturday evening, I met my March goal with 2244 tent/1122 full x stitches.
I decided since there wasn't a huge amount of page 22 left, I wanted to complete it before moving onto my next project.
Yesterday, I added 776 tent/388 full x stitches, finishing page 22 and bringing this project up to 54.82% complete.
March's goal for Her Private Garden has been met with 1012 tent/506 full x stitches and 3.97% complete.
February goal met for Her Private Garden with 1042 tent/ 521 full x stitches and 3.7% complete.
I'm going to try to finish March's Goal while this is out.
January goal met for Her Private Garden with 1052 tent/526 full x stitches and 3.42% complete.
This is going to stay out until I switch or get caught up to my February/ March goals and switch.
Sunday, I met my goal for Death By Cross Stitch. I added 594 stitches resulting in DBCS being 8.24% complete.
Last night, I met my goal for Winter Rose Manor with 549 stitches. Those stitches got me down the left border and starting across the bottom.
I've met my January/February goal for Warrior Alice with 4024 tent/2012 full x stitches. She's now 52.79% complete
Warrior Alice has seen some lovely progress in the last few days. I kind of wish I could finish this one this year too, but then I would be sad she was finished.
Last night, I finished page 21, she's now 51.74% complete.
Last night I finally met my February goal for The Loneliness of Autumn. It's now 52.26% complete.
Saturday morning, I finished page 14 of The Loneliness of Autumn from Love Thy Thread. It's now 50.76% complete.
I was on the struggle bus in January which resulted in my stitch counts being WAY down.
on 1/1, I started the HAED 2025 SAL Steampunk Portal. The 310/939 was fine but the rest of the colors are very confetti. I believe I made my amended 1/2 page goal.
I know I just made my 2025 goals but my current monthly stitching goals are going to kill my stitchy bug. So, at least for now, I need to amend them.
The 2025 HAED SAL is the culprit. I've put it away for now. At this point, I'm hoping for at least half a page per month which will result in the 6 pages in order to receive the other SAL charts. Unless something changes, I won't be pushing any harder than that.
Loneliness of Autumn will remain my 2025 finish goal since it's my second oldest WIP. I would focus on Loara Standish but she's a challenge and will just remain with 500 monthly stitches.
Warrior Alice is the other WIP that is going to get a big change, at least for now. In order to finish her this year, I would need to add almost 6200 tent stitches every month. I think instead, she's going to become a 2026 finish and she'll get 2000 full x stitches every month. That will reduce the number of 2026 stitches to about 50000 tent stitches or about 4200 per month which is much more reasonable and the chances of being able to at least touch all my WIPs again this year are much higher. I have a lot of WIPs and if I can add at least 500 stitches, I feel better about not touching them more frequently.
Loneliness of Autumn is out now and while I haven't added a bunch of stitches yet this month, I'm feeling a lot better about my stitching.
On 1/1/25, I did start the 2025 HAED SAL of Steampunk Portal.
The top four pages were released several days early but I wanted to still make 2024 progress on my WIPs.
Since I started, I've stitched 3774 tent/1887 full x stitches out of the 7104 tent/3552 full x stitches I need to complete every month to finish by the end of the year.
